Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival 2024
TRADE unionists at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival have vowed to fight any attempt by the new Labour government to water down its new deal for working people.
Legislation outlined in the King’s speech under the employment Bill included promises to repeal anti-union laws, introduce a “genuine” living wage and end fire and rehire within Labour’s first 100 days of office.
RMT president Alex Gordon, who praised plans to renationalise railways, said none of it would have been possible without the “relentless” work by trade unions.
